Method
Roast the Vegetables
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss carrots, parsnips, red onion, celery, and garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Simmer the Soup
- Transfer roasted vegetables to a large pot, then add vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Blend and Serve
- Carefully blend the soup with an immersion blender until desired consistency is reached; alternatively, transfer in batches to a regular blender. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, then serve hot with crusty bread and optional Parmesan cheese.
Notes
For an extra creamy texture, you can add a splash of coconut milk or heavy cream at the end. Feel free to substitute other root vegetables like sweet potatoes or butternut squash for carrots and parsnips.
